Why Bob Cowper chose Bradenton

This property is one of the largest in Sabal Harbour and undoubtedly has the best outlook with commanding views over the lake in both south and westerly directions. The amount of wildlife is phenomenal with reed beds providing nesting for our resident Sand Cranes and fishing grounds for the Great Blue Heron, Osprey and many other birds.

What makes this villa unique

Our villa is ideally situated not only because of the location on the estate and large pool but its proximity to local amenities such as Shopping Plazas including Ellenton, The Mall at University Town Centre, local shops within walking distance, golf courses and I75 allowing easy access to the Gulf coast.

Everything we needed and more!

This property is amazing! From the moment you walk in you feel like you're at home. It has everything you need and more. Our kids spent hours swimming, playing pool, chess and air hockey...no electronics were used by my kids the entire time. The lay out of house was perfect. There was enough room for everyone to have their own space but large enough to accommodate all of us during dinner. There were more than enough towels Including pool/beach towels. We loved spending our mornings having breakfast outside by the pool looking at all the amazing birds, etc. in the pond behind the house. The decor throughout the house is also very nice and part of what makes it feel like home. It is also very close to a market, gas station, and other stores.

Prior to and during our trip Bob was very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had.

Thanks again Bob!

Beautiful, Spacious Home!!!

I want to thank you very much for opening your home up to us. We have a wonderful vacation. From the minute we walked in, the whole family was in awe. The layout was perfect for my family of two adults and 5 kids, and even when we had company over, there was plenty of room to spare. The pool was clean and ready to go. The game room kept the kids entertained for many hours. It was nice to see them put down their devices and interact for a change! The location was decent. Everything we needed was not more than a few minutes away. The one very minor problem that we did have, was taken care of in a timely manor by the property manager, Martin. Thanks Martin. Again, we all thank you for the great vacation experience and we definitely highly recommend the Villa for your next family vacation!!!

Great vacation house for multiple families

This was a wonderful property for multiple families as we had ample space to enjoy each other's company. The property was very clean when we arrived and the pool was already heated. They had a lot of good quality towels and bed linen. Some of the pots and pans were scuffed badly so it might be helpful to replace. The property manager was very professional and helpful, although their office was a little far from the house so allow extra time for checking in/out. The owners are very responsive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great Vacation Villa

Stayed at this villa for a week in September with my wife, my son and his friend. The property is well maintained and most comfortably furnished including a games room that the boys found most welcome. It has the best swimming pool and hot tub of all the many villas I have stayed at in Florida and makes a great rental for a relaxing holiday break. Called the Management Company when a tap handle cracked during our holiday They responded immediately and the member of staff who attended arrived with a replacement handle and fixed the problem instantly. I will certainly look to visit this villa again.
